that changes the speed of the light, which makes the light bend

What happens when a light ray moves from one substance to another?
The speed changes. (and sometimes the angle.)
What are the differences between conduction convection and radiation?
Conduction-happens when heat moves from one object to another through direct contact Radiation-happens when energy ,such as heat, moves in waves between one object and another Convection-happens when matter carries heat from one place to another
What happens to matter when it gains kinetic energy?
When an object gains kinetic energy, it moves faster.
What is The process by which heat moves from one piece of matter to another by direct contact?
It is conduction.
What happens at the atomic level when light is absorbed?
When an electron absorbs a single photon of light it moves from its current shell to an outer shell.

What happens to the mass of a particle as the particle approacches the speed of light?
When any object with mass moves, no matter at what speed, its mass increases. The faster it moves, the faster its mass increases. And the closer to the speed of light it moves, the closer to infinity its mass grows.
What happens when a light moves from a material with a lower index of refraction to another material with a higher index of refraction?
The ray of light bends towards the normal.
What happens when light moves from solid to liquid?
kill
What happens to light as it moves away from its source?
It dims......Nikki
What happens when light passes into a material where the speed of light is lower?
It moves at a slower speed!
What happens to the speed of light as it moves from water into air?
The speed increases.
How convection is different from conduction?
Conduction is heat transfer WITHOUT matter transfer Convection is heat transfer WITH matter transfer
Can matter ever be changed?
yes becauses it moves from one state to another
What happens to matter when it gains kinetic energy?
When an object gains kinetic energy, it moves faster.
What happens when an electron moves from a high energy level to a lower one?
It absorbs light
